Interesting, never knew these existed. After doing quick research it has Turing core, but still old pascal generation NVENC which is very disappointing. Still, it's fairly good value compared to all the other options on the market.Have you considered this?

You could go even lower to the T400, but I don't think the savings justify it.
Quadros perform the same as GeForce equivalent. This card should perform a little bit slower than GTX 1060 3GB (lower clock speed, but more cores, faster memory, more vRAM). There is nothing Quadro in it that makes it perform worse. They share GP106 core.This is probably the fastest your going get for low wattage.
But its a Quadro... meaning its horrible when it comes to games, but will do everything else fine and then some, especially if you need a NVENC card.

That card does not require any aux 6-8 pin.
If we could just find some hacked drivers to make it play its Gforce counter part, it could probably be "acceptable" for 1080p @60hz.
Yeah, they don’t want to bother with lower margin parts at like ALL. Maybe with the 4000 series we get to enjoy a <=40 watt SKU. Too bad Apple doesn’t want to enter the PC GPU market. We definitely could use more competition.
2) Also, I am really not a fan of higher performance SKUs with 3 slot coolers in order to quietly tame those 300w+ monsters. I like very everything in 3090, except the fact that it likes to heat my room on a hotter day, a bit too much.

This is the case.
Probably cheaper to get new board and cpu.I'd like a card like that for my Plex server. I could buy a higher wattage card, but I don't really want to deal with additional PCIe power cables. I could also buy Quadro, but newer RTX cards have better NVENC engines. I guess I'll just have to wait till ETH goes PoS and video card situation normalizes, should only take another year or two.
